I agree that it would make for a much nicer read if the entire patch
series was simply rebased on top of v2.26.0, with drops instead of
reverts. I suspect that 4/6 will not even become a fixup, but that the
resulting patch is really more of an `Initial-patch-by: Rohit` material
with Phillip as the author on record.
As to the changes, I had a brief look over them, and I have nothing to add
to Elijah's review except to stress how excited I am about the increased
test coverage. From my perspective, this makes the patch series 10x
better.
Thanks,
Dscho
